International standard Current

Potentiometers for use in electronic equipment - Part 1: Generic specification

IEC 60393-1:2008 is applicable to all types of resistive potentiometers, including lead- screw actuated types, presets, multi-turn units, etc., to be used in electronic equipment. It establishes standard terms, inspection procedures and methods of test for use in sectional and detail specifications of electronic components for quality assessment or any other purpose. It has been mainly written, and the test methods described, to conform to the widely used single-turn rotary potentiometer with an operating shaft. This edition contains the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: implementation of Annex H which replaces Section 3 of the previous edition. It also includes minor revisions related to tables, figures and references.

Potentiometers for use in electronic equipment. Part 1: Generic specification

Applicable to all types of resistive potentiometers, including lead-screw actuated types, presets, multi-turn units, etc. to be used in electronic equipment. Establishes standard terms, inspection procedures and methods of test for use in sectional and detail specifications for Qualification Approval and Quality Assessment Systems for electronic components. Has been mainly written, and the test methods described, to conform with the widely used single turn rotary potentiometer with a control spindle. Supersedes IEC 60393-1 (1973), 60393-1A (1977), 60393-1B (1978) and 60393-1C (1979).

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
